OK I have a problem with a self-build that has been going on for a couple of weeks now. This is the spec of my machine:
Antec P182 Case with more fans than you can shake a stick at
Antec TruePower 850W PSU
Asus P5N32-E SLI board
Intel Core2 Quad Q6600 socket 775
2 x 74GB Raptor drives
FireMV PCIe 2400 Card
4GB RAM
Windows XP Pro x64
Basically the first thing that will happen is the keyboard becomes unresponsive. Next the mouse movement freezes and then it will stay like that until I do a reset. This happens at random times with random loads. Things I have done/checked:
1) Updated BIOS to latest version
2) Updated drivers to latest versions
3) Checked internal cabling
4) Monitored temps/voltages (all seem fine)
5) Disabled all unrequired services/programs
Now I'm starting to think that it may be the graphics card that may be faulty but with nothing in the Event logs I have no way to confirm this.
Any ideas on how to troubleshoot this further? Failing that, any recommendations on an equivalent card for powering three monitors?
Thanks in advance...
